This board has a National Semi 32032, MMU, FPU on it, 2meg RAM, and 2 serial ports. I would like to create a software interface to this board and its 64K RAM window and two I/O ports. The big goal is to put Mach 3.0 up there. The little (realistic) goal is to get the serial porttalking. Is this a device, or a pseudo-device? And for a pseudo-device, It should be a device because there is actual hardware associated with it, in particular the ram window. what is the digit after the name in the ./conf directory? I added "bpfilter" to my kernel. In conf/ALL it has a 3 after it; the other files (.conf/SUN-LAMP) have a 4 aftwards. Are either numbers OK? -- DISCLAIMER: These opinions are mine, all mine.
